For several months now I've noticed Torpoint in the south-west list of
'triggered' exchanges which have not yet had a service date set.

So I went to have a look at the registration record on adslguide.
Apparently back in June/July Torpoint had about 250 registrations but no
target set. Then, on July 11th with 270 registrations on the books a
target of 500 was set, and the remaining 230 registrations were achieved
in 4 days!
Since then, five months gone, nothing has appaently happened ...

On the face of it, this looks like commendable community work, (aided by
Council-sponsorship?), the sort of thing it's in BT's interest to
encourage, thwarted by BT then not keeping their side of the bargain...
